Ren Hell is stepping up the research and development of home game consoles, which of course inevitably cooperates and communicates with many hardware manufacturers. To put it bluntly, Ren Hell is not a company that is good at technology, and Yokoi Junhei and others are not top technical talents, but they have the advantage that many technical talents do not have, that is, they know how to make a fun product.

Lin Yan doesn't have much to do now, basically just playing games and paddling every day. Unlike what he expected, after he exposed his identity, he didn't cause much trouble. Although he did have to say hello to more people when he went to the arcade to play games, this feeling was not troublesome, on the contrary, it felt even a little cool.

Of course, this is the work of human vanity. Human nature, there is no place to be ashamed.

This morning, Chiba Yuki called Lin Yan and said that the game of Little Fat Dun had been made, and asked him if he wanted to go and see it.

Lin Yan asked what the name of the game was, and Chiba Yuki said that it was called "Iron Plate Array".

Good boys.

I can't imagine that Xiao Chubby Dun is quite powerful, "Iron Plate Array", a strange name that seems to be related to Iron Plate Squid, is actually not obviously related to Iron Plate Squid, if you insist on saying that it has a relationship, it may have a certain blood relationship with "Space Invaders".

The thing that the gamer controls is still a spaceship. However, unlike many Space Invaders on the market, its background is no longer empty and dark in outer space, but there are mountains and rivers.

Of course, that's not the most interesting part of this game. The most interesting thing about it is that it uses scrolling technology, and it's a vertical reeling game. Yes, more game content can be displayed on a fixed-size screen. This is definitely a novel experience for players.

Chiba Yuki didn't have Lin Yan to speak, he asked Lin Yan. What are you doing.

Hayashi said, "I'm wondering what this game looks like.

Tell me, I'll see how many you can guess.

Lin Yan said most of the characteristics of "Iron Plate Array" in his impression. Yuki Chiba on the other side of the phone. The mouth opened slightly, and the shock was beyond measure.

How do you know? Have you communicated with him?

Well. Lin Yan is not the kind of person who likes to show how great he is in front of girls. He did communicate with Chubby Dun, that's a fact.

Have you been involved in this game?

No, no, Lin Yan waved his hand again and again. It doesn't matter if Chiba Yuki on the other end of the phone can see it or not.

He didn't want to take others seriously and work so hard to make the merits of the game. Although, since he was reborn, he has taken out many other people's things as his own.

Although, Lin Yan was also a little ashamed, but this was also something that could not be helped. If he hadn't made that arcade machine in the first place, perhaps, there would be no way to solve the troubles faced by his family. He needed money at that time. And he knew that this was the only skill that could make money quickly, so he had to do it.

And what happened later is a bit of a chance meeting. It's not that Lin Yan wants not to do it, so he can not do it.

Well, he wanted Chiba Games to help him release an arcade machine, and I did. After Chiba Yuki finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Lin Yan, it is estimated that she has already done a good job of helping Chubby Dun release the video game arcade set up in "Iron Plate Array". Telling Lin Yan is nothing more than a letter. After all. The current Lin Yan is the pillar of Chiba Games, and the façade of Chiba Games is supported by his games. Besides, who made the two of them friends again?

Lin Yan also had no reason to disagree. After working with the video game league, he has understood that it is impossible for him to fully grasp the content. One is that others don't let him, and the other is that he doesn't have the energy.

Now it's okay to say, I make the game individually, and I have a production team of two or three people. It's still relatively mainstream, ten people are already considered a big team production, and twenty people are simply luxury productions, super production teams.

However, with the development of the video game industry, and the improvement of the performance of electronic components. Video games are bound to have finer graphics, smoother music, and richer content. The combination of various reasons points to a single result.

That is, the production of video games will start from an industry that focuses on creativity, supplemented by technology, and supplemented by other things. It has become a resource-intensive industry that is capital-oriented and requires large production and high cost. No businessman wants to be in a loss-making business, which means that you have to make money making video games.

And a game based on two or three hundred people and taking two or three years, if it loses, what kind of blow it is naturally self-evident.

It's not like a small team of a few people who can start from scratch, and those big production game teams are hardly allowed to fail. Therefore, in order not to fail, they are more inclined to develop a sequel to the game, so that there is not only a player base, but also a foundation of technical reserves, and the later you go, the faster the production speed. Even, it can become a "New Year's goods series" that can be seen on the container every Christmas.

Something so far away, in this world, it is estimated that except for Lin Yan, no one can expect it. Like any industry, most companies have a realistic view of how to survive.

In the current Japanese video game industry, the emphasis is on hands-on work, and the outsourcing system has not yet been established. And looking for foundry, that's something that small development teams think. Whenever they have a little strength, they all want to set up their own factories and produce their own products.

The reason for this is related to the "pragmatic" plot of the Japanese themselves, who prefer a sense of reality that can be seen and touched. Rather than OEM, which seems to be a somewhat illusory system.

This is the case for almost all companies in Japan, from the world's leading investment and construction of factories, to the up-and-coming automobile giants, to the street factories of a few people. They all love this kind of life. Even if OEM is more efficient, more economical, and has all kinds of benefits, they are still reluctant to do so.

Although Lin Yan was a siege lion who had never been in contact with commercial operations before. However, in those days, there were many people who came back to the company for training. Whether these people really have the ability themselves, or they take advantage of nepotism, anyway, the lectures are wave after wave, even if they don't want to go, they can't go, because there are too few people and the people who give lectures are not very faceless.

Lin Yan was in such a class. There was a teacher who talked about such a thing. Japanese companies have three winning formulas: "lifetime employment" and "annual merit sequence". "Enterprise unions". The first two ensure the stability of the company's employees, and every employee of a large enterprise is like an employee of a state-owned enterprise in China, no matter whether they are doing good or bad, they will still raise their wages on time every year.

And a "loser" who made a mistake. The company will not open it, and will usually send him to manage the document room, or to clean the toilet. The job has changed, but the salary has not.

Of course, this kind of system, after setting the tone of stability, also has its own unique problem, that is, a lack of vitality. Basically, there is no possibility of changing jobs in the same industry, and this is a period of economic recovery in Japan after the war. is a good thing. However, by the eighties, it was a bit out of place.

Because, when the advantages of such a system are clear, there are also many disadvantages, that is, the vision of the employees of the enterprise is limited to the company where he works. It is possible to enter such a company from graduation until retirement, and still be in this company.

In the long run, the vitality of the enterprise will inevitably decline. Businesses have also become stiff. If you can't make a product that really meets the needs of consumers, and the product is not loved by consumers, the performance of the natural enterprise will not be good, and the building will be sold every year.

These things. There is no good way to change it. Because this is the DNA of an enterprise. It's like an old saying, three years old looks old.

People and enterprises, in his life cycle, in fact, his characteristics when he was a child can affect his later life.

Lin Yan yawned. He was a little uncomfortable. It was still summer, and he was lying on a rattan chair and wobbly, and a step away on his left, there was a white and chubby white cat, curled up into a ball of meat and sleeping. The cat and Lin Yan are fine, one person and one cat look the same lazy, if the rhythm of everything in the world is the same as the rhythm of these two people. It is estimated that at least half of the human beings on the earth can starve to death.

The peasant uncle turned his back to the loess and worked hard every day, but he was never the richest, and he could never live the best life. Isn't this world too unfair?

Lin Yan, who was idle and had a little egg pain, unconsciously began to think about these problems that hurt a little egg.

In the past few days, the people who have come to the Lin family's repair shop cannot be said to be endless, and it is not a few. All kinds of people, either disguised or swaggering in to show their identities, there are all kinds of people. Most of them are journalists and curious peers.

They all want to know if the machines that come out of the mouths of children like urban legends exist, and if so, what they look like. Media people want to know about the future of this machine, while peers want to know about the money scene, and they want to know if they can participate in the production of video games for this home console. After all, those children said it clearly, this machine can "change games".

Machines that can "change games" are actually not too unusual. When Lin Yan was in the video game league, he once tasted the idea of standardized, modular arcade machine design. And his idea, although it was somewhat inhibited when Yano Katsukuro was in charge of research and development, was not abandoned. So far, there have been some results.

The Video Game League has launched a total of three models of standardized arcade machines, and at the same time, it has also produced games for small manufacturers. Therefore, the models of these three machines are also widely circulated in the market.

On such a machine, a video game, as long as it is not popular, the arcade owner, can buy a new piece of the game and ask a professional to replace it. Although it is not too convenient, it also makes the owners of the arcade hall very content. After all, a new game alone is about one-third of the price of a new machine, and after changing it, there is no problem as long as you change another poster.

The wicked people who came to inquire saw that Lin Yan was familiar, and they couldn't help but come to inquire about the news with Lin Yan.

At this time, Lin Yan had a very powerful skill, which was to pretend to be dead. I don't know.

Perhaps, wouldn't it be better for him to go upstairs and have lazy cancer, and he has his thoughts downstairs downstairs. That is, when necessary, he will release a fragmentary, but very attractive message. Let all walks of life have always been interested in this machine.

In this way, when the time is ripe, he may also hold a press conference and invite many media and peers to witness this product.

Don't think that press conferences are a waste of money and useless. One of his great uses is to make this product have enough exposure in front of the media. And the media has exposure, which means that there is exposure in front of consumers.

In this way, a product does not need to be quietly put on the container, and after practical fermentation, waiting for consumers to slowly discover it.

A product is off to a good start, and it's much better than a bad start.

One of the natural advantages of Akihabara's arcade halls is that there are many companies that produce video games, and they can have the latest and most complete video games.

In fact, during this time, many businessmen from all over Japan and even from all over the world studied several arcade halls in Akihabara.

There was even a kid who went to Grandma Akita's house during the summer vacation, and when he came back, he said with a smile on his eyebrows. In Akita's rural place, there is actually an arcade hall, and it's almost exactly the same as the one he is talking to now.

Hearing this, Lin Yan knew that it was possible that people would treat the arcade hall in Akihabara as a model house and move it over in its entirety.

Listening to what the kid meant, it seems that there is no adaptation to the water and soil, and there are many people who like this new type of entertainment.

Hayashi couldn't imagine what kind of scenery Akita was, it was full of rice fields, and when the wind blew, green waves swelled. Still, pigs, cows and sheep are running everywhere. The only thing he had an impression of Akita was the yellow one, with two light-colored bean-dotted eyebrows, and a small one.

As for the other things, he really didn't know much about them. A person's life, not to mention traveling all over the world, may not even know enough about the city where he was born. Two kilometers away from home, I felt like I had arrived in a completely foreign world.

――――――

It's a little too late after twelve o'clock, I wish you all a happy Moon Cake Festival and a family reunion :-D (To be continued.) )
